I thought they don't open until 2pm , and only opens in AM of weekends. Would be nice if they are open in am of weekdays. If your concerned because of safety most of the swimmers i see use this: http://www.kiefer.com/kiefer-safer-swimmer-buoy-products-279.php while swimming alone.

28 | Subject: RE: open water swim Pearland? Twin lakes basically is open whenever. Put ur money in the mailbox and go. But frankly the memorial next to the swim entrance was too Deliverance for me alone, so I bailed. Hit 288lake this afternoon instead-they open at 3. Very glad I decided to do some open water swims before the event! |

28 | Subject: RE: open water swim Pearland? Cdiff. Andy's has competitive cutoffs and clearly states don't enter if u won't make them. As this is my first tri, I'm going with one I can enjoy and not dnf due tto being slow. |

You are right they do have individual cut offs for the sprint, never really came to me all the sprints i attended only have a friendly overall cut off and i never saw someone DNF. Anyway Man i have a list for next years Sprints that have friendly cut offs. Cheers Carlo |

Member 1293 Pearland,Tx | Subject: RE: open water swim Pearland? Originally posted by skippypusa List eh? Mind sharing? Shoot me a msg or post here, your call. Thanks! Bro Being a Pearland local like you, I suggest the following races: ShadowCreek Ranch Tri- July 13 2014 500m/16mi/3mi This is in my back yard and really embarrassed I did not do this year. no cut off, finish whenever , the lake is only 5 ft. deep you can run it if you want to and still finish. Silverlake Tri- May 25 2014 500m/10mi/3mi She did not do it this year dont know the reason. According to the RD's email to me she got Silverlake's HOA approval for Sunday of Memorial day next year so I assume its May.25 Cut off is very doable i believe. YMCA Freedom Tri- normally Last Sunday of June 300m/11mi/3mi Its a pool swim just let them know your pacing i remember they told me they dont mind if its 4:00/100 yds. Cut is just 2:30-3:00 hrs to finish. Outside of Pearland at Cypress i know Bridgeland Tri is on Aug.3 link is here: http://www.onurmark.net/#!bt-registration/c19ih 550/12.8mi/3.1mi , the swim pacing is ok at 4:00/100m, but with the bike have to be a little bit faster 15 mph, you will be fine on the run. Bro you can make it up to me to let me know if you know any run trails in Pearland. |

But I'm looking for more, too dont know what happend to Silverlake I know its not the HOA, Ms.Gaye must be busy. Here's another one outside of Houston , I am sure if you dont mind driving to Austin You dont mind the Woodlands. CB & Tri Triathlon May 30 2014 500m/15mi/3mi Registration Opens Jan 1 2014 This one is known to close out registration fast I would register as soon as it opens. http://www.thewoodlandstownship-tx.gov/index.aspx?NID=306 Cut offs are: 6:00/100m,12 mph,15min/mi , should be very easy for us.

Finally, we just dealt with it, but I would prefer not to swim with it. Yuck! |

Member 1293 Pearland,Tx | Subject: RE: open water swim Pearland? I really need to get a swim today so i have no choice but try TwinLakes of Manvel. The lake is ok in general cheaper significantly less vegetation than 288 and they have running water to shower off lake water and clean wetsuits. There is something about the lake giving me the feeling of swimming all alone out there. |
